This is a superb short introduction to sociological theory. It captures the dilemmas of sociological argument as well as its different traditions and sensibilities. It is concise without being shallow and will be a true companion on a student's journey through his or her studies. It provides an excellent overview for the start of the journey but, like any good guide book, it will repay consultation while on the journey.
